BILLING CODE 6450–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy 

Act of 1974 and the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Circulars A–108 and A–130, the 

Department of Energy (DOE or the 

Department) is publishing notice of a 

modification to an existing Privacy Act 

System of Records. DOE proposes to 

amend System of Records DOE–24 Land 

Records System. This System of Records 

Notice (SORN) is being modified to 

align with new formatting requirements, 

published by OMB, and to ensure 

appropriate Privacy Act coverage of 

business processes and Privacy Act 

information. 

DATES: This modified SORN will 

become applicable following the end of 

the public comment period on January 

21, 2025 unless comments are received 

that result in a contrary determination. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to Ken Hunt, Chief Privacy 

Officer, U.S. Department of Energy, 

1000 Independence Avenue SW, Rm. 

8H–085, Washington, DC 20585, by 

facsimile at (202) 586–8151, or by email 

at privacy@hq.doe.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken 

Hunt, Chief Privacy Officer, U.S. 

Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue SW, Rm. 8H– 

085, Washington, DC 20585, by 

facsimile at (202) 586–8151, by email at 

privacy@hq.doe.gov, or by telephone at 

(240) 686–9485. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 9, 2009, DOE published a 

Compilation of its Privacy Act Systems 

of Records, which included System of 

Records DOE–24 Land Records System. 

This notice proposes the following 

amendments: The Southwestern Area 

Power Administration has been 

removed as a system location; the 

‘‘Categories of Individuals Covered by 

the System’’ section has been revised to 

accommodate landowners in service 

areas covered by the Bonneville Power 

Administration and Western Area 

Power Administration; ‘‘Categories of 

Records in the System’’ now includes 

property address, landowner mailing 

address, landowner phone number, and 

the last sale seller’s name; ‘‘Record 

Source Categories’’ now includes public 

databases; ‘‘Authority for Maintenance 

of the System’’ section adds 16 U.S.C. 

791 et seq., the Reclamation Act of June 

17, 1902 (32 Stat. 388), the Department 

of Energy Organization Act of August 4, 

1977 (91 Stat. 565), and deletes 50 

U.S.C. 2401 et seq.; ‘‘Routine Uses’’ 

section deletes a previous routine use 

concerning efforts responding to a 

suspected or confirmed loss of 

confidentiality of information as it 

appears in DOE’s compilation of its 

Privacy Act Systems of Records (January 

9, 2009) and replaces it with one to 

assist DOE with responding to a 

suspected or confirmed breach of its 

records of Personally Identifiable 

Information (PII), modeled with 

language from OMB’s Memorandum M– 

17–12, ‘‘Preparing for and Responding 

to a Breach of Personally Identifiable 

Information’’ (January 3, 2017). Further, 

this notice adds one new routine use to 

ensure that DOE may assist another 

agency or entity in responding to the 

other agency’s or entity’s confirmed or 

suspected breach of PII, as appropriate, 

as aligned with OMB’s Memorandum 

M–17–12. A routine use has been added 

to include disclosure to appropriate 

local, tribal, state, or Federal agencies 

when needed to establish historical or 

current ownership. An administrative 

change required by the FOIA 

Improvement Act of 2016 extends the 

length of time a requestor is permitted 

to file an appeal under the Privacy Act 

from 30 to 90 days. Both the ‘‘System 

Locations’’ and ‘‘Administrative, 

Technical and Physical Safeguards’’ 

sections have been modified to reflect 

the Department’s usage of cloud-based 

services for records storage. Language 

throughout the SORN has been updated 

to align with applicable Federal privacy 

laws, policies, procedures, and best 

practices.

DOE–24 Land Records System. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified.

ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 245 / Friday, December 20, 2024 / Notices 104127 

cross referenced by name of landowner,

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Retention and disposition of these 

records is in accordance with the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration-approved records 

disposition schedule with a retention of 

75 years. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Electronic records may be secured 

and maintained on a cloud-based 

software server and operating system 

that resides in Federal Risk and 

Authorization Management Program 

(FedRAMP) and Federal Information 

Security Modernization Act (FISMA) 

hosting environment. Data located in 

the cloud-based server is firewalled and 

encrypted at rest and in transit. The 

security mechanisms for handling data 

at rest and in transit are in accordance 

with DOE encryption standards. 

Records are protected from 

unauthorized access through the 

following appropriate safeguards: 

• Administrative: Access to all 

records is limited to lawful government 

purposes only, with access to electronic 

records based on role and either twofactor authentication or password 

protection. The system requires 

passwords to be complex and to be 

changed frequently. Users accessing 

system records undergo frequent 

training in Privacy Act and information 

security requirements. Security and 

privacy controls are reviewed on an 

ongoing basis. 

• Technical: Computerized records 

systems are safeguarded on 

Departmental networks configured for 

role-based access based on job 

responsibilities and organizational 

affiliation. Privacy and security controls 

are in place for this system and are 

updated in accordance with applicable 

requirements as determined by NIST 

and DOE directives and guidance. 

• Physical: Computer servers on 

which electronic records are stored are 

located in secured Department facilities, 

which are protected by security guards, 

identification badges, and cameras. 

Paper copies of all records are locked in 

file cabinets, file rooms, or offices and 

are under the control of authorized 

personnel. Access to these facilities is 

granted only to authorized personnel 

and each person granted access to the 

system must be an individual 

authorized to use or administer the 

system. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

The Department follows the 

procedures outlined in title 10 CFR 

1008.4. Valid identification of the 

individual making the request is 

required before information will be 

processed, given, access granted, or a 

correction considered, to ensure that 

information is processed, given, 

corrected, or records disclosed or 

corrected only at the request of the 

proper person. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Any individual may submit a request 

to the System Manager and request a 

copy of any records relating to them. In 

accordance with 10 CFR 1008.11, any 

individual may appeal the denial of a 

request made by him or her for 

information about or for access to or 

correction or amendment of records. An 

appeal shall be filed within 90 calendar 

days after receipt of the denial. When an 

appeal is filed by mail, the postmark is 

conclusive as to timeliness. The appeal 

shall be in writing and must be signed 

by the individual. The words 

‘‘PRIVACY ACT APPEAL’’ should 

appear in capital letters on the envelope 

and the letter. Appeals of denials 

relating to records maintained in 

government-wide System of Records 

reported by Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM), shall be filed, as 

appropriate, with the Assistant Director 

for Agency Compliance and Evaluation, 

OPM, 1900 E Street NW, Washington, 

DC 20415. All other appeals relating to 

DOE records shall be directed to the 

Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals 

(OHA), 1000 Independence Avenue SW, 

Washington, DC 20585. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

In accordance with the DOE 

regulation implementing the Privacy 

Act, 10 CFR part 1008, a request by an 

individual to determine if a system of 

records contains information about 

themselves should be directed to the 

U.S. Department of Energy, 

Headquarters, Privacy Act Officer. The 

request should include the requester’s 

complete name and the time period for 

which records are sought.
